(New York) – Amnesty International today condemned the delaying tactics of a Bahrain court — after the second postponement of an appeals hearing for 14 jailed activists — in light of the critical condition of prominent activist Addulhadi al-Khawaja, who is on his 75th day of a hunger strike. The human rights organization said Bahrain is “toying” with al-Khawaja’s life and demanded his release, along with the other 13 activists.
